Radiological Training for Tritium Facilities

Introduction

Purpose and Scope

This beginning section discusses in general recommendations for the implementation of radiation safety

training. Course specific guidance begins on page 11

This Handbook describes a recommended implementation process for conducting the radiation safety

training required by Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Occupational Radiation Protection, (10 CFR 835)

Subpart J and as outlined in the DOE standard DOE-STD-1098-99, Radiological Control (RCS). The

Handbook is to assist those individuals, both within the Department of Energy (DOE) and Managing and

Operating (M&O) contractors, identified as having responsibility for implementing the training required by

10 CFR 835 and recommended by the RCS.

Management Guide Content

The management guide is divided into the following sections:

Course Specific Information

Training Program Goal

The goal of the training program is to provide a baseline knowledge for those individuals completing the

training. Use of the DOE developed material provides personnel with the information necessary to perform

their assigned duties at a predetermined level of expertise. Implementing the training program helps ensure

consistent and appropriate training of personnel.

Organizational Relationships and Reporting Structure

The DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security's Office of Worker Safety and Health Policy (HS-11) is

responsible for approving and maintaining the DOE developed training materials associated with the

training program.

The establishment of a comprehensive and effective contractor site radiological control training program is

the responsibility of line management and their subordinates. The training function can be performed by a

separate training organization, but the responsibility for quality and effectiveness rests with the line

management.
